    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Once hot, add minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  2. 3

    Add the Shrimp

    Add the shrimp to the skillet, season with salt and black pepper, and cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque.

  3. 4

    Deglaze with Wine

    Pour in the white wine and scrape the bottom of the skillet to deglaze. Allow it to simmer for about 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced.

    Combine Pasta

    Add the cooked pasta to the skillet along with the lemon juice and chopped parsley. Toss everything together and add reserved pasta water a little at a time until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.
